outpatient programming (
IOP). Their specialized programs cater to men, women, executives, professionals, and adolescents with an average length of stay ranging from 5 to 12 days, but some clients choose to move on to their 42-day transitional living program.
Silver Hill understands that everyone is unique. They provide individualized treatment plans and a wide array of therapies that best fit the needs of the client. Clients can enter 3 levels of care, corresponding to the illness stage while being able to move between levels throughout treatment. Silver Hill seamlessly blends traditional talk therapy with a variety of alternative therapies like acupuncture, acupressure, massage,
mat pilates, Tai Chi, yoga, and more.
Silver Hills extensive property consists of 5 home-like facilities for adults, adolescents, addiction and co-occurring disorders, a personality disorder center, and a psychotic disorder center. Each home is tucked away in the peaceful countryside and is beautifully furnished with modern decor and cozy living spaces. While personal cell phones and computers are not permitted, clients will have access to iPads and computers during treatment as well as a library. Clients at Silver Hill will enjoy a home-away-from-home feel, instead of the typical sterile hospital-like setting.
Evidence-Based Context: According to SAMHSA's National Survey on Drug Use and Health (2023), approximately 48.7 million Americans aged 12 or older had a substance use disorder in the past year. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) emphasizes that treatment programs combining behavioral therapy with medication-assisted approaches show the highest rates of sustained recovery. Facilities like Silver Hill Hospital provide structured pathways to evidence-based care.
